Oh dear. From such heights the great fall. At least he can fall back into the bosom of his loved ones.
Definitely quality rider in his day but could be a bit brutal as well, if you don't go for a gap you are no longer a racer, a quip if i remember from the great Senna!
it was only a year or two back that everyone wrote him off and then he started winning races again The riders of that era are something else
I remember back in 2014 at Misano motogp, the wife and me where there and Capirossi was going round the track sideways spinning the BMW safety car round the corners, brilliant natural ability, met him in 2008 after the Donnington round, really sound bloke, like you say that era of riders stands out.
Absolutely, it was a great period but this season isn't a bad one even though a short one at that, the wife and me should of been flying out this afternoon for Misano but hey shit happens.
